Features of the Electrobrush

The roller brush in the Electrobrush is motor-driven.
The electrobrush removes deep-seated dirt and prevents areas of frequent use from becoming a path.
Two of the four rollers are height-adjustable, allowing you to adjust the gap between the Electrobrush and the floor.

Recommended use

Please note that the Electrobrush should not be used to vacuum deep pile rugs and carpets or valuable hand-knotted rugs and carpets, e.g., Persian and oriental rugs, etc. or long piled rugs and carpets. There is a risk of the threads being pulled out.
The Electrobrush is particularly suitable for the intensive vacuuming of carpets which are subject to hard wear.
The standard floorhead or one of the Miele floor brushes should be used for cleaning hard floors. It is also important to observe the flooring manufacturer’s cleaning and care instructions.

How to use the Electrobrush

To achieve the best results, pass the Electrobrush slowly backwards and forwards over the carpet or floor. For rugs with fringe, always draw the Electrobrush from the middle of the rug across the fringe towards the floor to keep the fringe smooth.

The electro hoses (SES) have an On/Off switch on the handle which can be used to switch the Electrobrush on and off independently.
This means that you can switch the Electrobrush off during vacuuming and the vacuum cleaner will continue to operate using suction only, e.g. when moving from carpeting to an area rug, for example.

Press the release button and pull the suction tube out of the Electrobrush connection socket.
